- FIG. 1 there is shown an elevation right side view of a firearm 10 incorporating features of the present invention.
- the present invention will be described with the reference to the single embodiment shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be embodied in various different types and kinds of alternate embodiments and different types and kinds of firearms.
- any suitable size, shape or type of elements or materials could be used.
- the firearm 10 is a semi-automatic pistol.
- the pistol 10 has a receiver or frame 12, a barrel 14, a slide 15, a firing mechanism 16, and a removable cartridge magazine 18.
- a schematic cross-sectional view of the pistol 10 is shown without the cartridge magazine.
- the frame 12 is preferably a one-piece member made of metal. However, the frame could be a multi-piece assembly including other materials such as plastic.
- the frame 12 has a handgrip section 20 with a cartridge magazine receiving area 22, a trigger guard section 24 and a slot 26 for the trigger assembly 28.
- the barrel 14 has a bottom rear lug 30. Referring also to Figs.
- the lug 30 has a groove 32 and a rear bottom end 34 with a recess 36 on its right side.
- a lug pin or take down pin 38 is connected to the frame 12 and extends through the groove 32. Because of the shape of the groove 32, the barrel 14 can move on the lug pin 38.
- the slide 15 is slidingly mounted to the top of the frame 12. A main portion of the barrel 14 is located in a main channel of the slide 15. Tile rear of the slide has a firing pin 40 therein. When the slide 15 is moved rearward on the frame 12, the barrel 14 is moved rearward by the slide 15. As the barrel 14 is moved rearward, interaction between the lug pin 38 and the groove 32 causes the rear of the barrel to move downward.
- the recess 36 could be on the left side of the lug or in an interior area of the lug. Any suitable type of slide could also be provided. In addition, any suitable type of firing pin or striker could be provided.
- the firing mechanism 16 includes the trigger assembly 28, the firing pin 40 and a hammer assembly 42.
- the hammer assembly 42 includes a first hammer member 44 and a second hammer member 46.
- the first hammer member 44 is made of metal, such as extruded, stamped or cast metal.
- the first hammer member 44 has a striking face 48, a mounting hole 50, a side pocket 52, a rear slot 54, and two rear holes 56 (only one of which is shown) on opposite sides of the rear slot 54.
- the second hammer member 46 is a plate made of metal.
- the plate 46 is preferably stamped from a hardened metal member.
- the plate 46 has a mounting hole 58 and a bottom projection 60 with a sear surface 62.
- the plate 46 is located in the side pocket 52 of the first member 44.
- the shapes of the pocket 52 and the portion of the plate 46 in the pocket interlock the two members together.
- the holes 50, 58 align with each other.
- a hammer pin 64 extends through the two holes 50, 58 to pivotably mount the hammer assembly 42 to the rear end of the frame 12.
- the projection 60 extends out of the pocket 52 and past the bottom end of the first hammer member 44.
- a strut pin 66 is mounted in the holes 56 and spans the rear slot 54.
- a hammer strut 68 extends into the slot 54.
- the strut 68 is spring loaded by a spring 70 against the strut pin 66. This biases the top of the hammer assembly 42 in a forward direction.
- hammer assemblies could be provided.
- alternative or additional means could be provided to interlock the two hammer members together. When assembled, the right sides of the two members 44, 46 are flush with each other. The interlocking nature of the two members allows the plate 46 to rotate the first member 44 when the plate 46 is rotated on the hammer pin 64. Likewise, when the first hammer member 44 rotates on the hammer pin 64, the first hammer member 44 causes the plate 46 to rotate with it.
- the trigger assembly 28 generally comprises a trigger member 72, a trigger spacer 74 and a trigger pull bar 76.
- the trigger member 72 is preferably a one piece member.
- the trigger member 72 has a bottom finger contact section 78, a middle section with a spacer pocket 80 and a mounting hole 82, and a top section 84 with a stop 86 and a side projection 88.
- the width of the finger contact section 78 is about the same width of the slot 26 in the frame 12.
- the spacer 74 is located in the pocket 80.
- the spacer 74 has a mounting hole 90.
- the hole 90 is aligned with the hole 82.
- a trigger pill 92 extends through the two holes 82, 90.
- the pin 92 is connected to the frame 12 across the slot 26. This pivotably mounts the trigger member 72 and spacer 74 to the frame 12. As seen best in Fig. 4, the combination of the trigger member 72 and the spacer 74 span the width W of the slot 26.
- the top section 84 is relatively thin and extends from only a right side of the trigger member 72.
- the width of the top section 84 at the side projection 88 is about the same as the width of the recess 36 in the barrel lug 30 (see Fig. 2a).
- the trigger bar 76 has a front end with a hole that is pivotably mounted on the side projection 88.
- the width of the front end of the trigger bar 76 is about the same width as the side projection 88.
- the stop 39 on the frame 12 stops the trigger member 72 from being rotated too much that might otherwise cause the lug 30 to contact the top section 84 of the trigger member 72. Therefore, a compact pistol can be provided which is also a double action only pistol, and has a pulled trigger bar.
- the contour of the recess 36 is such to minimize reduction in strength of the lug 30. The configuration described above also eliminates the need to make the pistol wider.
- the spacer 74 can be positioned in the pocket 80.
- the trigger pin 92 can then be used to pivotably mount the two members 72, 74 to the frame 12.
- a relatively long trigger member can be inserted into a trigger slot in a frame past a trigger guard.
- the two members 72, 74 occupy the width of the slot 26 such that the trigger member 72 does not significantly laterally slide on the pin 92.
- other types of trigger assemblies could be provided.
